The world of alternate broadcasts will feature another opportunity to stretch its legs tonight when the YES Network offers a Jomboy alternate-cast on the YES app in the hopes to capture history amid Aaron Judge’s homerun record chase.
Tonight’s Yankees/Pirates game will air exclusively on the YES Network with Michael Kay, Paul O’Neill, David Cone and Meredith Marakovits. However, an alternate broadcast will accompany the game on the app with Jimmy “Jomboy” O’Brien and partner Jake Storiale will offer their own opinions as Judge attempts to tie or surpass Roger Maris’ American League record 61 home runs.
“We thought it would be really cool to take that to the next level and have them do an alternative-cast of the game,” Matt Duarte, YES’ vice president of strategy and business development said. “They can speak directly to our fans while the game is going on.”
